B．Sad.C．Happy. D．Worried.答案：C解析：觀點(diǎn)看法題。作者在敘述將來生活各個領(lǐng)域的改變時(shí)，賜予了主動評價(jià)，如clean,injusttwohours,prefer,conquer等詞匯的應(yīng)用，體現(xiàn)了作者主動樂觀的看法。因此選C。eq\a\vs4\al(Ⅱ.七選五)依據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Itissometimespossibletofixawater-damagedcellphone.__1__.Thelongeryouwait,themorelikelythephoneisunrepairable.Assoonasyounoticeyourphonehasdroppedintowater,youshouldtakeaclothtowipeitoff.Additionally,youshouldtakeouttheSIMcardandbattery.__2__.Ifyouputyourwater-damagedcellphonebacktogetheranditwon'tturnon,itislikelythatsomewaterhasgottendowninsidethephone.__3__.YoucanremovethebatteryandSIMcardfromthephoneonceagainandplaceallthreecomponentsintoabowlfilledwithrice.Thismayworkbecausericeisveryabsorbent.__4__.Ifthericemethodeitherdidnotwork,youcantakethephoneapartandlayallitspiecesoutsideindirectsunlightforseveralhours.Theheatfromthesunmaycompletelydryouttheinsideandoutsideofthephoneanditsparts.Ifitisrainingorthesunisnotout,youcanuseablowdryeronlowheattogetthesameresults.Ifallofyourattemptsatrepairingyourphoneareunsuccessful,youwilllikelyhavenochoicebuttotakeittoyourcellphoneproviderortoaplacethatrepairscellphonestogetitfixed.Unlessyourphoneisveryvaluable,thecostofrepairingthephonemightbehigherthanwhatyoupaidforit.__5__.Itmaybebeneficialtomeanwhilepurchaseinsurancefromyourcellphoneprovider.A．Ifso,youhavetothrowitB．YoucouldalsouseheattofixitC．Fixingitdoesn'talwaysendupwithsuccessD．RepairingitassoonaspossiblemaybegreaterE．ThenyoumightbebetteroffbuyinganewoneF．Whenthishappens,youcanstillrepairitusingrice,thoughG．Placethemontoapapertowelsothewatercancompletelydrain本文屬于說明文，介紹了四種修理被水損壞了的手機(jī)的簡潔易行的方法。1．D解析：依據(jù)空后Thelongeryouwait,themorelikelythephoneisunrepairable可知，D項(xiàng)提出盡快修理它可能更好，為下文“你等待的時(shí)間越長，手機(jī)就越有可能無法修復(fù)。”做鋪墊，故選D。2．G解析：依據(jù)空前Additionally,youshouldtakeouttheSIMcardandbattery可知，G項(xiàng)提出“把它們放在紙巾上，這樣水就能完全排干”是前文動作的目的，符合語境，故選G。3．F解析：依據(jù)空前Ifyouputyourwater-damagedcellphonebacktogetheranditwon'tturnon,itislikelythatsomewaterhasgottendowninsidethephone.可知，假如你把被水損壞的手機(jī)組裝好，但它仍不能開機(jī)，很可能是手機(jī)內(nèi)部進(jìn)水了，再依據(jù)后句的rice可知F項(xiàng)提出“但是，當(dāng)這種狀況發(fā)生時(shí)，你仍舊可以運(yùn)用大米進(jìn)行修復(fù)?！狈险Z境，故選F。4．B解析：本空是一個主題句。本段主要是介紹通過光照和運(yùn)用吹風(fēng)機(jī)對被水損壞的手機(jī)進(jìn)行修理，所以B項(xiàng)“你也可以用熱來修理它”符合本段主旨，故選B。5．E解析：依據(jù)空前Unlessyourphoneisveryvaluable,thecostofrepairingthephonemightbehigherthanwhatyoupaidforit.可知，除非你的手機(jī)很值錢，否則修理手機(jī)的費(fèi)用可能會比你買手機(jī)花的錢還多，E項(xiàng)“那你最好買個新的”是前文的結(jié)果，符合語境，故選E。eq\a\vs4\al(Ⅲ.讀后續(xù)寫)閱讀下面材料，依據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。Onetime,theteachersataschoolwantedtoteachthestudentsaboutairplanes.Whileallairplanescanfly,someareabletoflyfartherthanothers.Thisisbecausenotallairplanesarebuiltthesame.Forexample,afighterplanelooksverydifferentfromaplanethatpeopleflyinwhentheywanttogoonaholiday.Theteacherswonderedhowtheycouldmakestudentsunderstandthis.Then,thescienceteacher,MrMoose,decidedthattheschoolshouldhaveapaperairplanecontest.Everystudentwoulddesignapaperairplane.Theywouldstandinalineintheplaygroundbehindtheschool.Thestudentswouldtaketurnsthrowingtheirairplanes.Thestudentwhoseairplanewentthefarthestwouldwin.WhenMrMooseannouncedthepaperairplanecontesttothestudents,theywereveryexcited.AstudentnamedPaul,whowasontheschoolsportsteam,saidtoeveryoneelsethathisairplanewouldwin.“Iamthestrongest，”Paulsaid.“SoIwillbeabletothrowmyairplanethefarthest.”However,whilePaulwassayingthis,anotherstudent,Brian,wasthinkinghowhecouldwin.Briandidnotplayanysportsandwasnotverystrong.Buthelovedairplanesandreallywantedtowinthecontest.Brianrealizedwhathehadtodo.Hewenttothestoreandboughtabigstack(疊)ofpaper.Whenhegothome,hetookthepaperintohisbackyard.Hetookapieceofpaperandfoldedanairplane.Itdidn'tgoveryfar,soBriantookanotherpieceandfoldedanotherairplaneandthrewit.Thisairplanewentalittlefarther.Briankeptfoldingdifferentkindsofairplanesandthrowingthem.Somewentveryfarandsomedidnot.Finally,whenBrianhad
